Angry. @BostonGlobe publishes a guide to the election.

They choose pictures of my opponents wearing suits. They pick one of me from Gamergate where I’m wearing a t-shirt and have bright anime hair.

I literally did a photo shoot with them wearing a dress and heels a week ago.
I have dressed professionally every day for 2 years to present myself as a serious candidate. Hair done professionally, down and straight. Natural color. Heels.

I have four versions of the same dress, I wear it so much.

It was 95 degrees today and I wore that canvassing.
I am so disappointed in the @BostonGlobe for this. You have a responsibility to represent me accurately to voters. Picking a pic from when I ran an indie game studio is not fair journalism.

Sitting next to the world’s most awkward first date on earth, and cannot help but overhear.

She’s horrified at his political opinions, and he’s thrilled. Ignoring every social cue and pushing through.

“Let me tell you why all college should be paid for with students loans.”
2/
 👱🏻‍♂️: “Why should I pay a penny for someone’s college. That’s state violence.”
🧕🏻: “I paid for college with student loans.”
👱🏻‍♂️: “No, I mean all college funding. Kill it all. Privatize the whole thing.”
3/
 🧕🏻: “But how would people pay for that?”
👱🏻‍♂️: Bank lends you money. Kill all state funding. You want it, you borrow to pay for it.”
🧕🏻: “But what abo...”
👱🏻‍♂️: “The state might as well be putting a gun to my head. It’s theft. Taxes are a violation of my human rights.”

1/ Fun Fact about #Revolution60 play test data, and the human need to please people.

When I designed the gameplay, I wanted to make a strong statement about political moderates.

The game is built to make you choose between two characters, and two moral alignments.
2/ You can be professional and follow the rules, or you can be rogue and do what it takes to accomplish your mission.

You also have to side with either Minuete, who represents sacrifice - or Amelia. She represents individuality.
3/ The gameplay of #revolution60 is designed to let you play through it, then you see the outcome of your choices.

Do you kill your friend or fail your mission? Do you obey unreasonable orders or commit treason?

It’s four hours of that, then you see the consequences.

Polls just closed. It’s all over. Nothing to do but watch the results come in.

If I win, the next few months will be a free for all.

If I lose, I hope you will all understand. I’m going to take a step back from the public eye and recharge before starting 2020.
2/ A few thoughts about what we did right and where we can improve.

Our campaign raised almost $200,000. And truth be told, I did not put nearly the amount of work into this that I should have. For 2020, I’m going to spend more time on this and hire a much larger team.
3/ I’ve said this in interviews before, but my biggest mistake early on was NOT HIRING EXPERIENCED PEOPLE at the beginning.

I thought I could do it like a startup, and we could learn as we went.

By the time I realized that was a failing strategy, it was too late.

1.) Okay, the jabroni in these photos - note the identical ear and eyebrow shape in both - is an @Boston_FS member called "Chest." His real name is Trevor Carey, and he lives in the Stoughton, MA area, formerly Shrewsbury. And he's bad news. But there's SO. MUCH. MORE. <thread>
2.) P.S. On the left in that photo above is Chris Hood (red hat) from @PatriotFront_ and on the right is @Resist_Marxism's Mark Sahady (grey hat), btw. Even a random photo will show you how connected these groups are.
3.) The tl;dr-- Trevor is a violent racist, he carries a concealed handgun and knife to protests, he's been arrested for pulling a gun on a protester, and he's a believer in "MGTOW," which the @SPLCenter has classed as a "hateful ideology advocating for the subjugtion of women."

📌In death, Sen. John McCain is about to exact revenge on Trump

📌#GamerGate > #4Chan > Alt R > #QAnon > #Twitchy > (etc) = #TrumpRussia

📌#Religion and #MoneyWashing... Not so strange bedfellows.

In death, John McCain shows a virtuous alternative to Trump
🙏🏽JohnMcCain🙏🏽

PBO, who beat Mr McCain to the WH in 2008, said they shared a "fidelity to something higher".

GWB described him as "a patriot of the highest order".

Condolences pour in after the death of John McCain

John McCain to Lie in State at Capitols in DC and Az
🇺🇸JohnMcCain3🇺🇸

The death of Sen. John McCain marks the passing of a man, an American patriot & a politician whose record of service to country will always be his defining attribute.

We must ensure his legacy of bi-partisanship & patriotism endures into the future.

Sitting comfortably? Let's begin. This afternoon I will twisk (which means 'to fisk in an annoying tweetstorm') this article by fake BBC journo Dave Lee who claims "at E3, video gaming's bigots have lost." Guess who he thinks he's talking about? #GamerGate archive.is/j0qUQ
The article starts with a paragraph of scene setting…notice anything odd? Lee has simply juxtaposed two sentences w/o bothering to connect them. Normally I'd think, 'He'll connect them later,' but I won't hold my breath judging by past anti-GG hitpieces >
When an article begins w/apparently unrelated sentences it's a sign the writer is being coy about where he's headed, so I skipped to the LAST paragraph. This is what this article will attempt to prove about #GamerGate. Should we expect evidence? Or this is just 'game journalism'?
